I have a question. I have the shorts that came with the costume for Rikku and they are accurate but tight, and by tight I mean very very tight. I also bought a pair of green shorts at Fred Meyer a week ago that could work, they fit but they aren't as accurate (I will add the ruffles) so my question is which one should I use?

accurate shorts

Shorts that fit better (will add ruffle)

I say the second one, also, simply for the sake of comfort. That, above all, is the most important thing.

It's not really "progress," but it's occurring to me that the time I had to work on legion has been occupied by other things.

Unless I get an epiphany, I'm switching my second day to Wander.

Tobis A Good Boy · « **Reply #1953 on:** July 03, 2011, 06:22:58 pm »

Wel I just bought my Harley wig, and the fans and leggings for my yumi cosplay but thats about it gfor my progress. XD

tofutakeout · « **Reply #1954 on:** July 03, 2011, 07:50:11 pm »

@nikkiolie
I agree with the second pair.

I NEED RUFFLES.

other than that Cure Passion's top is almost done.
Taokaka's been taken apart where she needs help and then I can re-work it. I need to get a large zipper.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #1955 on:** July 05, 2011, 02:04:52 pm »

I got my Ciel wig

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #1956 on:** July 05, 2011, 05:21:49 pm »

That looks very good, Jacob.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #1957 on:** July 05, 2011, 05:58:21 pm »

it needs a trim but other then that it is an amazing wig.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #1958 on:** July 05, 2011, 08:46:48 pm »

Really? Maybe it's just me, but it looks like the length is about right. If anything, perhaps a little bit longer...?

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #1959 on:** July 05, 2011, 09:04:52 pm »

no the back of the shorter wig needs a bit of a trim

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1960 on:** July 05, 2011, 10:46:01 pm »

I got the rest of the fabric for Stocking, so nothing is holding me back from finishing her outfit except for my floor that needs to be vacuumed.

My wigs are also on the way from China; I have a normal Stocking wig, a pigtail Stocking wig, and my wig for Lambdadelta :3 My Raven wig should also be here this week~

Drauska · « **Reply #1961 on:** July 06, 2011, 07:10:33 am »

Holy rusted metal....I've done nothing this week! I suck. $:-\$

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1962 on:** July 06, 2011, 10:20:57 am »

I ordered the belt baubles for Loki yesterday. Those'll be two different sets of reproduction 8th century Norse turtle brooches. I can't wait to get themmmmmmmm they're effing gorgeous.

I'm still looking for flowers for Diamond Crevasse Sheryl though. Blue flowers are hard to find. Who knew? I also need a massive amount more of organza, what I have now is definitely not enough.

kit2kit · « **Reply #1963 on:** July 07, 2011, 01:21:36 pm »

My face is grey.

I wanted to test out my makeup for Terezi so I only did my face, neck and hand in this picture. Its not particularly even in this picture but Ill figure that out by the time con comes around. I dont have lipstick yet so that is my lame attempt in covering my lips. But yeah, I also just made the glasses last weekend.

In other progress news I finally got to Joanns and got Fabric for Silver so I can start on his jacket. I am very excited : D

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #1964 on:** July 07, 2011, 01:29:42 pm »

I got my Tajima cosplay done~ I just need to get the wig styled still. I'm not happy with my jacket though, the closest thing I could find was a blazer, and the slacks are to relaxed. I'm sure I can get them fixed up somehow, shouldn't be that hard to do right?

Amanda is letting me borrow her Sakura cosplay, and If things fall through I'll have Hinata too. I'll be buying Amandas cosplay if it works out from her later. She says Sakura is retired for now~

Meep is commissioning my Emily cosplay, from Air Gear the school uniform. Around Christmas I'll be buying the Kogarasumaru jacket. I have a plan to Mikan maybe.

My blonde wig I'm getting from Nyahaha is being used for all three of these cosplays :p
Rave. Female Deidara is almost done. I just need the fishnet, the shirt and the headband. I'm sure my Hinata headband will be okay, considering I'm having it styled up like Sakuras headband for him.

Duskull is no where near done, my friend is making me my mask but I still need all the clothes. Black and Grey, I'm debating on a witches hat.

Namine isn't defult this year, its the school version for the panel. Doe bought the costume for me I just have to pay her back as soon as I can.

I'm quite happy with my choices this year♥

StarryShay · « **Reply #1965 on:** July 07, 2011, 04:21:44 pm »

Recieved my Anti-Spiral Nia body suit in the mail today. ♥

For this costume to be finished, I need to:
Finish painting
Add blue strips
Paint some wedges blue

AND BAM ~

I am so excited to wear this for con.

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #1966 on:** July 07, 2011, 04:27:57 pm »

oh wow it looks really good on you

you did all the red lineing right?

I got my stocking shoes today.<3 only 18$

I'm sorry the image is so big. D: I'm posting from my phone.

StarryShay · « **Reply #1968 on:** July 07, 2011, 04:59:30 pm »

Titus; Thank youuu~
And no actually, the girl I bought it from on cosplay.com had already started painting it, but never finished~

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1970 on:** July 08, 2011, 10:28:04 pm »

Finally started on remodeling my gun-arm. Didn't make a ton of progress though as I was distracted by Black Butler and then Final Fantasy XIII.

But still...progress! I just need to add a strip of craft foam and paint, then that part will be done, to be followed by wrist band and then gut-band, lol.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #1971 on:** July 08, 2011, 10:35:34 pm »

I finally decided on a sailor scout (Sailor Venus) and I brushed out the wig I'm going to use for her.
Tomorrow I hope to get out all the fabric and start on the leotard.
I need to decide which version though. :/ Sailor V, Regular, Super, or Eternal???

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1972 on:** July 08, 2011, 10:49:41 pm »

You should do Sailor V version. Then you could wear the nifty mask/glasses, heh

Tobias · « **Reply #1973 on:** July 08, 2011, 10:54:29 pm »

Lawl, I might as well post in here.

Buffafro- need pants and horns still
Garterbelt- got the fabric, but I'm not making it, so I need to talk to the person making it
Demoman- No progress ^^;

"Secret" Cosplay- Stage "1" complete (anyone who knows me knows what I'm making)

Seconded. I would love to see a Sailor V costume. So retro and awesome!

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #1975 on:** July 08, 2011, 10:57:26 pm »

But the Manga version or Anime version?
Manga has sleeves, anime doesn't.

Oh also when we make it, bring your graduation robe. I'm going to be using that as a base, almost.

I'd love to see the anime version. It just looks better to me, but go with whichever one you like more.

Eve, that is where we disagree. I am all about those striped sleeves.

bunny_jean · « **Reply #1979 on:** July 08, 2011, 11:50:40 pm »

I like the manga version of Sailor V better also. I like the gloves better and the shoulder things don't look as derpy with the extra sleeves. The colors seem to go together better too.

Drauska · « **Reply #1980 on:** July 10, 2011, 10:50:26 am »

Well I got a lot done yesterday. I got my cross punisher all put together, just need a bit of sanding and shaping, add a barrel, and paint. Sorry about the rotation of the pics but I can't seem to get these straight.

My sisters Riku Keyblade is coming together nicely. Just started painting it after I made and attached the eyes.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1981 on:** July 10, 2011, 01:16:23 pm »

Those look great! I may come to you for advice on how to make some props

I'm going to a meet up tomorrow and I want to wear rikku so I need to finish everything but the boots today. All I have left is a little sewing on the left glove and to sew the trim on the shorts. Meg and I are having a cosplay work day today so we should get it done

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1982 on:** July 10, 2011, 08:14:53 pm »

How'd you make the keyblade, Drauska? Looks awesome so far.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1983 on:** July 10, 2011, 08:44:45 pm »

Rikku is done but the boot. The boots should be here early August then the costume is done. Now it is about time to move on to Azula 8D

I made this out of polystyrene insulating foam. It's really dense and sturdy but cuts easy. I took a digital picture to office max and they printed out a full size picture of it and I cut it out and used as a stencil. When I'm done I plan on making a tutorial for both props.

I would agree with lychee on the "yay" over the sleeves, but I can't give an honest opinion comparing the two, since the anime link is saying that hotlinking isn't allowed.

@Drauska: That is some seriously gorgeous prop work! Beautiful sculpting :3

I'm fidgeting at work because I want to go home and work on Kyrie's jacket. I'm still working on the mock up and I have to test whether my sleeve method is going to work, but everything else is going so smoothly it's almost disturbing.

Thanks, I think I might have a knack for this. Its my first attempt at making a prop. I've been making these at the same time.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1989 on:** July 11, 2011, 01:52:29 pm »

You've got the touch, Drauska! Stick with it. We all need more prop-makers in the cosplay world, heh.

Drauska · « **Reply #1990 on:** July 11, 2011, 03:22:53 pm »

I drew out a second Riku sword in case I messed up on the first on. Would anyone like to take it off my hands? It's just the outline drawn on foam NOT cut or carved. If you are in the Portland area.

Tobis A Good Boy · « **Reply #1991 on:** July 11, 2011, 04:49:20 pm »

Got my Harley wig and Yumi leggings and fans in the mail. Now just to spray paint the fans. XO

yelloweyedowl · « **Reply #1992 on:** July 11, 2011, 08:27:47 pm »

I'm just gonna dive into the conversation and state my progress.

Winry (FMA) - 99% I just need to get a wrench, but Home Depot didn't have the right kind.

So as soon as I get that I'll be done unless I manage to find a better pair of shoes. I'm also thinking about getting colored contact, so that might bump it down to 95%.

Victorique (Gosick) - 3% I only have a pattern picked out so far, but I'm waiting for it to go on sale next week. It's a bit of a complicated dress, so it's going to be interesting to see if I can pull it of.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #1993 on:** July 11, 2011, 08:38:33 pm »

Sakura is done

Just ordered my dress I will most likly have to remake the hat I need to trim the wig and then ciel is done

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1994 on:** July 11, 2011, 10:41:27 pm »

Here is most of my finished Rikku, the only thing missing is the boots

You can't really see the weapon or the shield in this picture

You can kinda see it in this one.

Lookin' really good, Nichole. Dang! *snap snap* I'll give credit where it's due, you're making a great Rikku.
